How to Clean Your Kitchen Chimney Filters at Home

A kitchen chimney is essential for keeping your kitchen smoke-free and clean, especially with Indian cooking that involves a lot of frying and spices. However, over time, the filters get clogged with oil and grease.

Why You Need to Clean Your Chimney

If you don't clean your chimney regularly, you might face several issues:

• Reduced suction power.
• Loud, unusual noises from the motor.
• Oil dripping back onto your gas stove.
• Risk of fire hazards due to accumulated grease.

Step-by-Step Cleaning Process

For basic baffle filters, you can use hot water, baking soda, and vinegar. Soak the filters in this hot mixture for 2-3 hours, then scrub them gently with a non-abrasive brush.
